Big ticket: Upcoming Democratic debate important to watch, too.

Watching the battle over the choice of a Republican nominee for the race for president of the United States has been interesting.

It is hard to look away -- the events move so quickly.

But there is an equally important candidate clash that voters should pay attention to this week.

Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders meet this week as well -- for their first debate.

And while there won't be as many people on the stage, the discussion is no less important.

Debates give the public a chance to see how a candidate conducts himself (or herself) on a national stage.

And they also allow the press to question positions and to ask for specific policies.

And this one should be interesting.

The more information you have, the better.

So, take the time to get a closer look.
